Resistance to Anthracnose Rot Disease in Capsicum

Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an important vegetable crop worldwide with high economic and nutritional value. The Capsicum genus comprises more than 30 species, of which C. annuum, chinense, baccatum, frutescens, pubescens are the five domesticated ones. Anthracnose fruit rot, caused by Colletotrichum spp., one most destructive fungal diseases pepper. In this review, we compiled up-to-date information from 40 publications on anthracnose resistance in species. total, 375 accessions were described as showing different levels against spp. These belonged to including annuum (160), baccatum (86), chacoense (4), chinense (90), frutescens (16), well 19 species not reported. High mainly present chinense. For some resistant accessions, genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) Using associated molecular markers, located 31 QTLs 17 resistance-related recently published genomes, CM334 version 1.6, 1.2, 1.2. Our results could be helpful for making use reported breeding pepper cultivars rot disease.
